July News
With Oshkosh just around the corner one of the UK RV’s is enroute already, G-PRKY has already crossed the Atlantic. All being well I hope to see him around the show, will certainly be looking out for his RV in the HB parking.
May News
RV9 G-CMVV cleared to fly. Hope all going well. Weather has been fantastic for the last few weeks. There’s also a usual group of suspect on tour with their RV’s that have been to Sweden and Germany so far. Looks like a good trip.
April News
G-KIPY, RV7 cleared to fly, good luck with the testing.
Sun & Fun been and gone. Went for one day and although the day and night air shows were good, there was a good attendance, it was disappointing that all the visiting aircraft was parked a long way from the main event. The home builds used to be front and centre in years gone by, as in 15 years ago.
March News
All a bit quite on the project front. Just one reported G-RVJG RV7 cleared for flight, good luck and blue skies.
